Extreme Weather

Clouds throughout the entire area will be on the increase, with showers developing in the afternoon. The southern areas of the NBC Chicago viewing area could continue to see a rain/snow mix, as well as an inch of accumulation in some spots.

Chicago usually sees its first appearance of snow around Oct. 30.

"We are never ready for it," Diana Ferguson said. "It happened so fast."

The day's high temperatures remained in the low 40s before dropping back into the 30s in the city and the upper 20s inland.

Lake-effect snow showers remained in the Wednesday forecast for northwest Indiana.
